The Three Librarians

Hi everyone! Today was a great day. We started the day by organizing and delivering food to an orphanage that we don't get to very often. I haven't been there for quite awhile and was pleasantly surprised with the improvements. All the kids were all dressed up in school uniforms and were in school when we arrived.

We took pictures of all of the students and staff. The pictures will be used for their new library cards. Each child will be able to check out a book when our mobile learning center visits. We will stay for about 2 hours. During those two hours they can check out books. We are hoping to give a lesson tomorrow on how to take care of books.

I am so excited to start! I will be even more excited when we have our center opened and also when we have computers and the internet!

Then the team spent the afternoon finishing the cataloging the books, making the pockets in the cover and organizing the math worksheets.

The only downer of the day was when we ran over an old computer monitor and ruined our tire. I hated to have to sink $200 for a tire that wasn't old! Bummer.

Stories from Haiti

Welcome to the FFCIN.org blog! The entries that you seeto the right are my recollections of my experiences in Haiti. I will try to write in chronological order but don't guarantee this. I am going to write stories as they come to me.

Mixed in, I may write my opinions about certain issues orjust my random, wandering thoughts. I hope that you will enjoy some of my stories and return often.
